Good choice on the B+W filter, you will not be dissapointed.

I would be highly be suspect of ANY store that says all sales are final that sold new merchandise. I can understand maybe on electronics (which I don't agree with) but not things like filters and tripods and normal stuff where opening the box really doesn't matter.

The UV filters, imo, were a waste of money. Many photographers use them to 'protect' the front of their lens. On a digital camera they serve no other useful purpose, and with careful camera handeling serve no useful 'protection' function either.

I got it just for protection,I know it did not serve any other purpose it does give me a piece of mind because it is a screw on type and being that I will be taking pictures at the beach and such I rather have sand hit the filter directly then no filter at all and make direct impact with the lens.

If you're going to use it just for protection (Which is all it's good for) then I would suggest getting a good qualityclear glass filter. It's relatively inexpensive and will have significantly less impact on your images than a mediocre (at best) quality UV filter.

I got a very old 58 mm polarized filter made by KENKO model PL. It is very sticky, hard to turn/rotate.
Would you let me know how to clean it or make it less sticky so when I put it on the lenses I can rotate it more easily.
TIA,
